The walls, roof, floor, joist frame is all completed. All I have left to do down here is shelving, drip sills and curtains. Here is what is looks like.

Thanks Jay, it should be around to enjoy for sometime. Only 6 more months till deer hunting...

My buddies always joke with me saying I can sleep in mine if the wife gives me the boot

[paceman]

Great Job. Now you can hope for a cold snowy season! The deer will be moving and you will be nice and warm!

[HOBBSTER]

Thanks guys, should get the job done to stay comfortable out there for seasons to come. Have any of you guys had issues with mold growing on carpet or insulation if water got in through a small crack? It's sealed up pretty well but theres some slivers of gaps by the windows and in the hot summer I'm wondering if I'll have an issue with mold. So I might put a vent in near the top to leave open for the warm months and close it while I'm in it.

Finished top of stand to bow hunt from...

Cool view, looks like a long bow shot, may not be. Noticed the mesh looks pretty transparent from below in that one shot. A bit windy up there I'm guessing?

Noticed the mesh looks pretty transparent from below in that one shot.

I'm wondering if it would be advantageous to put something behind the mesh so you don't get skylined.

[jay83196]

Longest shot about 60 yds to the far plots...its actually not that transparent especially without sun right on it. When I hunt its usually later afternoon so can't see through like that. It does get windy wish I could shoot from inside with bow windows are just not that big, its too nice out Sept to be inside anyway.

Can you make a 60 yarder? If so that's impressive. I'm comfortable at 40, not really beyond that, but I know many are comfortable with that.

[jay83196]

Yeah i have a 60 yd pin can keep them inside paper plate at that range. If I'm practicing enough that is...

[HOBBSTER]

Awesome stand Jay. 60 yards is impressive. Whats planted?
